Developer HoYoverse took part in the Genshin Impact Special Program dedicated to the arrival of the latest Version 4.6: Two Worlds Aflame, the Crimson Night Fades. The long-awaited Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino finally makes her debut while the Travelers get to visit new areas, including the submerged empire of Remuria. New weekly boss will provide an extra challenge as well!
Genshin Impact Version 4.6 arrives on April 24.
“All plans need someone to enact them. May frost blush under the crimson moon, a symphony resound from the depths, and let sandswept secrets sleep no more, til there’s naught but to await an inescapable fate.“
Arlecchino, also known as The Knave, is the Fourth of the Fatui Harbingers and the “Father” of the House of the Hearth. She is undoubtedly the star of the upcoming version, arriving both as the newest limited 5-star character and as the latest weekly boss. She is a Pyro Polearm damage dealer that plays through the new Bond of Life mechanic. You could have previously encountered it when fighting against the Fatui Operatives, it consumes a certain amount of healing before it can affect your characters’ health.
When Arlecchino’s Bond of Life is equal to or greater than a certain percentage of her health, she will take on the offensive state, granting her Normal Attacks greater strength and non-overridable Pyro Damage by consuming the Bond of Life. Maintaining Bond of Life is done through imposing and collecting Blood-Debt Directives on The Knave’s enemies. Meanwhile, her Elemental Burst is the only way Arlecchino can heal during battle.
As a weekly boss, Arlecchino uses the same mechanics against the players. More of her story will be revealed during the Story Quest “Ignis Purgatorius”.
Genshin Impact – Version 4.6 Banners:
- Phase One: Arlecchino (5-star Pyro Polearm) & Lyney (5-star Pyro Bow);
- Phase Two: Wanderer (5-star Anemo Catalyst) & Baizhu (5-star Dendro Catalyst).
The respective signature 5-star weapons will arrive with the weapon banner. Arlecchino’s polearm ”Crimson Moon’s Semblance” is a sick-looking blood red scythe! Beware of the second half donut, however.
